-------- ------------ --------------------------------
Pie Shell
1 1/3 Cups All-purpose Flour
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
4 Ounces Unsalted Butter -- chilled
4 Ounces Lard -- chilled
3 Tablespoons Ice Water
Filling
2 Cups Whole Milk
1 Cup Half and Half
3/4 Cup Granulated Sugar
5 Tablespoons Cornstarch
1/2 Teaspon Salt
3 Each Egg Yolks -- beaten
1 1/2 Cups Shredded Coconut Meat -- divided
2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
1 1/2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
Topping
1 Cup Heavy Cream
1 Tablespoon Granulated Sugar
1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
For pastry, combine flour and salt in large mixing bowl. Cut in butter
and lard until particles are about the size of a pea. Sprinkle 3
tablespoons of ice water over flour mixture, gently combining with a fork.
If mixture doesn't come together in a mass, add an additional tablespoon
of ice water. Form mixture into a ball, flatten, and wrap in plastic
wrap. Chill 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Roll out pastry to a 12-inch circle. Fit
into a deep 9-inch pie pan, fold over pastry to form a high fluted edge.
[censored] pastry generously with fork. Line pastry with baking parchment or
foil and add pie weights, dried beans, or rice. Bake 12 minutes. Remove
lining and weights and return to oven. Continue baking 5-6 minutes or
until pastry is light golden brown. Remove to cooling rack and cool
thoroughly. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
For Filling, mix together sugar, cornstarch, and salt in medium saucepan.
Set aside. Combine milk and cream in small saucepan and heat to
scalding. Stir hot milk mixture slowly into sugar mixture. Stir about
3/4 cup of hot mixture into egg yolks, stirring constantly. Return egg
mixture to saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until
filling is very thick and stiff, about 7-9 minutes. Add 1 cup of coconut,
butter, and vanilla. Stir until butter is melted. Pour filling into pie
shell. Chill until completely cold.
For topping, spread remaining 1/2 cup of the coconut on a baking sheet and
toast until pale golden brown, about 6-8 minutes. Set aside. Beat cream
in chilled mixing bowl using chilled beaters until cream forms soft peaks.
Add sugar and vanilla and continue beating until cream is very stiff
(just short of turning to butter). Spread whipped cream over surface of
pie filling, swirling decoratively. Sprinkle with reserved toasted
coconut and return to refrigerator until serving time.
